Baby Yoga

Following the bilingual journey

Our groups are friendly and inclusive and they’re a great way to build confidence, learn a little Welsh or socialize with new parents in your area. There’s a warm welcome for all, Welsh speakers, learners and non-Welsh speakers. Note that these are school term groups only, attending our groups is free of charge.

After attending our groups’ parents are encouraged to attend their local Ti a Fi group before registering the child at the local Cylch Meithrin.

1. What is baby yoga?

Our baby yoga sessions follow on from our baby massage by continuing to enjoy one to one time with your baby in a relaxed atmosphere. It’s an opportunity to strengthen and develop your baby’s muscles through simple movements which will also help mum and baby to relax as well as continuing to enjoy simple Welsh songs.

Our yoga groups are divided into two:

Beginners baby yoga groups – suitable for babies from 10+ weeks

There is an opportunity to learn a number of relaxation movements that will benefit you and your baby: try cat control, foot prayer, half lotus, I love you this much, tiny twist, big kiss, bicycle stretch, roly poly, drum, swing, heart to heart and more.

There’s an opportunity to expand on the above movements by becoming familiar with baby plank, bear hug, twist and roll, busy hands, swing, mini cobra, see-saw, up we go and more!
